Hi David,
It seems to me you are looking to include the PyMOL GUI window in your images.
If that's the case, you may want to create composite images. Here's what I
would do, for what it's worth:
1. Decide what dimensions (aspect ratio) you want for the final image and
choose a viewport size that will achieve this once you include the rest of the
window.
viewport 800,600
2. Take a screenshot of the PyMOL window. Grab.app is useful for this on OS X.
3. After you have your image looking the way you want, save a ray-traced .png
image using a size (and dpi) that's some multiple of your viewport size to give
yourself the higher resolution. For example, if you have 72 dpi screen
resolution and want at least 300 dpi, multiply the viewport dimensions and
screen resolution by 5.
# this will print the same size as the 800 x 600 viewport @ 72 dpi
png myimage.png, width=4000, height=3000, dpi=360, ray=1
4. Using an image editing/design program such as Illustrator or Inkscape,
superimpose the two images and crop/tweak as necessary.
Good luck,
Jared

Dear all,
I want to take high resolution screenshots of the PyMol interface for
figures in a methods paper where PyMol is used for some steps. Is
there a way to make the elements of the interface display 4 times as
large so I can get ~300 dpi images instead of 72 dpi? I have access
to Linux, OS X, and Windows, so answers on any of these systems will
be useful.
Thanks,
David
